PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
TO
THE NEW STUDENTS·
All studen:bs are new, 'and must ever remain so.
Being new is finding out. Why does one go to col­lege?
To find out whia,t college is like. Why does
a student study? To find out some'thing or oth'er;
the more otherish, the longer muSlt be the study.
One who cannot learn by sltudy is commonly dubbed
dumb. If he could learn but does not ,care to be
wiser tomorrow than he is today, he is merely dead
and has not dis'covered his deadnes's.
This long, puzzling, and most happy experience
known as going to college is a sustained adventure
with the new. If 31 class has you scared a bi,t because
you do not know what is coming next, you are prob­ably
being edueatted. The most dreadful class is the
one in which you already know all the answers 3rn.d
are always perfectly sure what the professor is about
to do. May the gods of your better tomorrow fend
you from such 31 fa,te, and! keep you; eternally con­fronted
with puzzling problems to solve. May you
enjoy being new and remaining new in this good
year 1940-1941 at Normal Oollege.

At ,First Assembly
Prospective Teaclhers Learn 'l.'hat
The Public Schools Demand
Versatillty and Broad Background
Students of M. S. N. C. attended
their first regular assembly, Wed­nesday
morning, at 10:00, where the)
heard talks by Dean Anna Moser,
Superintendent Anderson, Dr. Farm­er
and President Davis.
T~ open the program Superinten­dent
Anderson spoke on the SUbject,
"What the Public School Wants."
Stressing the fact that schools wan!
people who have a real knowledge
of the academic field', Mr. Anderson
stated that the greatest difficulty
in teaching is caused by lack of
information on the subject being
taught. A background of knowledge
accumulated through many years of
study is most essential. Educated
people are what the schools want,
not highly specialized people, be­cause
most schools are not large
enough to employ teachers for every
subject, but want instructors who
have had training in several field's.
Versatility in extra-curricular iSub­jects
is very valuable to any pros­pective
teacher, according to Mr.
Anderson, who said that schools re­quire
experience in musiC, art, phy­sical
education, industrial arts and
library work or some activity that
will make the teacher useful to the
school and community. He made it
plain that every action of the stu­dent
is part of the record that is
his recommendation for securing a
job.
Following Mr. Anderson's talk,
Miss Moser gave a short talk en­titled
"Your College Year Begins."
